In February I started an ambitious project. I expect it to hit critical mass in 6-12 months. I want to compare Crystal Reports to the other leading BI tools. I plan to include SSRS, MS Access, Tablaeu, QlikView, Indicee, Logi Ad Hoc, List and Label and a few others. The goal will be to help users understand how these tools are different and therefore which tool is best for a specific set of requirements.
One challenge is that these tools are very different in both purpose and approach. So my plan is to create a detailed feature matrix showing what each tool can do and also how it is different. The process and the end result will resemble the comparisons I do for third party products.
Another challenge is that I am not an expert in most of these tools. So, like I do in my other comparisons, I will rely on the people who know the tools best. Ideally the vendors will provide the information directly. One vendor already has. Vendors who want their software represented accurately have some incentive to participate. And when the vendor doesn't participate I will recruit competent users to review the feature list and mark the features supported by each product.
My job will be to tease out the features that best highlight the differences between products. I will also have to write up the feature definitions so that they are objective and meaningful.
Would you like to help? There are several ways to get involved:
1) Tell me the tools you think I should include, especially ones I didn't mention. That will help me prioritize products.
2) If you have expertise in any of these tools you can volunteer to review the feature list for that product.
3) Even if you have only limited experience with one of these tools, your impressions would be welcome.
This weeks puzzle:
A customer upgraded to Sage (PeachTree) v2015 last week. Everything seemed to work fine, but their most important Crystal Report wouldn't run because it uses Sage custom functions, and those functions were not showing up in Crystal. The Sage software has a button to install these custom functions, but clicking this button didn't change anything. Sage support couldn't solve the problem so the customer called me.
I know that all Crystal custom functions come from DLLs and I assumed that this Sage DLL was either missing or in the wrong place. The customer asked Sage support for the name of the DLL so we could search for it. They sent him lots of information, but not the file name.
So the customer did a fresh install of Sage v2015 on a local PC, and everything worked correctly. So I opened up Crystal and could see the Sage custom functions listed together – along with the name of the DLL. We searched for that file (U2Lpeach.dll) and found it in:
We then checked that same folder on the server and found that the DLL was in that same folder. But yet when we opened Crystal on that same server the Sage functions were not visible. Crystal had several other custom functions that were working, so I searched for those DLLs and found them in a different folder on the server:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Since we knew that Crystal could read the DLLs in that folder, we copied the Sage DLL and pasted it in with the others. Once we restarted Crystal the Sage functions appeared. The difference probably has to do with a windows environment variable somewhere, but rather than mess with the server settings we decided that a duplicate DLL was workable solution.
How would you like your reports to be automatically run, exported to a PDF and delivered to your Email InBox every Monday morning at 6am? The Crystal Reports designer doesn't provide a way to do this (unless you upgrade to CR Server or BO Enterprise). But if you look at third party products like those on my LINKS page you will find several reasonably priced or free tools that do this. Some do even more. So every March I go through the list and publish a feature comparison on my blog.
There is one new product this year for a total of 11 products. The page linked above provides a brief description of each product and lists the features that set it apart. Then there is a detailed feature matrix that shows the key specifics for comparison including prices. To clarify the matrix terminology I have written a feature glossary to explain what each feature means. Finally there are links to the vendor websites so that you can get more information on each product. In May I will be updating a separate article that compares server based scheduling tools. If you think one person can manage all of your scheduling you are probably fine with one of the desktop tools, regardless of the number of people receiving the scheduled output. But if you plan to have multiple people scheduling reports then you may want to consider a server based tool.
Regular expressions, for those of us who don't see them often, are a group of symbols that allow you to efficiently define a complex string pattern. You can define this pattern with optional characters, varying lengths, and alternate spellings and punctuation. Below is a simple example showing how you would define the pattern found in a formatted height value using feet and inches:
^[0-9]+\'[ ]?([0-9]{1,2}[\"]?|)$
This says that the string must start with a digit. The digit must be followed by a single quote and then an optional space. The string must end with either 1 or 2 digits followed by an optional double quote.
Unfortunately, regular expressions are not a native feature of Crystal syntax. But Ido Millet of Millet software has just added several functions to the Cut Light DLL that make regular expressions available inside Crystal formulas. The functions allow you to test, search and replace strings based on the patterns defined using regular expressions. To read more about Cut Light as well as other DLLs that can add power to your Crystal formulas, you should read my article on User Defined Function Libraries (UFLs).
There are many ways to deploy Crystal Reports to users. I normally lean toward the simpler and less expensive options, like locally installed viewers, or scheduled delivery of PDF output. But there are environments where a web based option is necessary. The "official" options from SAP are Crystal (Reports) Server and BO Enterprise. But there are other, less expensive products out there that many users never see. These are third party products that allow your users to view reports from a browser. You can also centrally manage your report deployment from a browser.
I have created a page on my blog that lists and compares these products, and I update it every January. This year the list includes 9 products, including CR Server, itself:
Crystal Reports Server – a traditional Web portal
Report Runner Web Portal – a traditional Web portal
CSS Portal with CRD – a traditional Web portal
Visual Access Report Server – a traditional Web portal
Ripplestone– a traditional Web portal
RVweb – a traditional Web portal
rePORTAL – a traditional Web portal
RV for Windows Pro – a server-based viewer
Report Launch – a bridge between BO server products and server based applications
The blog page mentioned above contains a brief rundown on what each product does and provides links to all of the product web sites. I have also posted a feature matrix (PDF) that shows some of the specifics for comparison, including prices. If you have any feedback to share on these tools I would be happy to hear form you.
It is time for my annual comparison of formula function libraries. If you aren't familiar with User Function Libraries (or UFLs) they are DLL files that add new formula functions to your Crystal Reports formula editor. With these functions your formulas can do some pretty amazing things like:
1) Carry values from today's report to tomorrow's report
2) Carry values from one report to another.
3) Append lines of text to an external text file.
4) Automatically copy a value to the clipboard.
5) Check the user name of the user running the report.
6) See if a file or folder exists (on your network or on the internet).
7) Rename/copy/delete a file on your hard drive or network drive.
8) Launch an application or run a batch file.
9) Execute a SQL statement (Select/Insert/Delete).
10) Send an Email using information in the report.
11) Create a table of contents or an index for your report.
12) Calculate distances between zip codes or long./lat. coordinates.
If this sounds interesting you can read my complete comparison including a list of all the functions provided by each DLL. The five UFL providers are:
Bjarke Viksoe (U2lwin32)
Maginus Software (CRUFLMAG)
Millet Software (Cut Light)
Chelsea Tech (File Mgt, Text, Share and others)
CrystalKiwi (Export, Table of Contents)
The only product that has changed since last year is Cut Light, where Millet Software has added a handful of new functions. You will find these highlighted in the matrix. If you need help deploying one of these functions in a project let me know.
In 2012, I wrote about a tool that allows you to update the data source in all the reports in a folder. It is called CR Data Source and is put out by R-Tag. The original version would only work on reports that use a single connection, which is the majority of the reports that I do. But R-Tag has just updated this tool so that it can deal with reports that have multiple connections. It will still only work with OLEDB and ODBC connections. If you want to learn more about the tool, you can check out a short video on the CR Data Source web page.
I just had a call from a customer who wanted to run lists of reports grouped by the report 'owner'. They wanted to know the simplest way to enter this into each report and also have it available to create lists of reports for each owner. Their original plan had been to add a text object to each report to display the owner info, but they couldn't think of a way to generate lists based on that data.
As it happens, Jeff-Net had just let me test drive their new tool for doing report management and documentation, called Report Runner Documentor. It is simple to use and is available for free. My favorite part is how easily it loads the report's information (tables, fields, links, formulas, summary info, etc) into a SQL Server database. This allows you to create reports about your reports.
So I suggested that my customer put their 'owner' information into one of the five "Summary Info" fields like "Author" or "Keywords". These are found in each report under "File > Summary Info". These fields can be displayed on the report, and they also get stored in the Documentor database. They can then tap into this database to create their own lists in Crystal Reports, using that field for grouping or filtering. Uncomplicated and inexpensive.
This past July I reviewed report management tools like this one and posted a feature comparison matrix. Since then I have written about two new tools so those have just been added. So, for the complete list of the tools available in this group you can read my updated annual comparison.
ReCrystallize has just released a simplified edition called ReCrystallize Light. Like ReCrystallize Pro, it generates a web page for each of your reports. These pages allow your users to run, refresh and export those reports on demand from your intranet, extranet, or SharePoint site. The Light edition doesn't have all the features of ReCrystallize Pro but it is simpler to use and less expensive.
So what features are only found in the Pro edition? For a complete list of differences between the Light and Pro you can see the comparison posted on the ReCrystallize Web site. Some key features found only in the Pro edition include the ability to:
- Run reports that use more than one database connection.
- Change the database connection/DSN/server name at runtime.
- Create customized forms for parameters.
- Pass hidden parameter values within a URL or from an application.
If you need any of these you will need to upgrade to the Pro edition. Otherwise you might want to give the Light Edition a try. Either way there is a free trial.
The developers at R-Tag have released two new tools for managing reports.
The first, R-Tag Crystal Reports Documentation and Search, is for searching and documenting reports. For example you can find all the reports with Saved Data, or PaperSize = A4 or the expression BackColor = CrSilver. It supports search in text, formulas, SQLExpressions, table names and any other report property. The price is $299 for the first user and $49 for any other user.
The second, R-Tag Crystal Reports Version Control, is a full source code management system like Visual Source Safe. It provides the ability to check reports in and out, keep all prior versions, restore previous versions and check for changes between the versions. In addition it includes all of the features of R-Tag Crystal Search. It costs $999.
Both are available for purchase on their web site. And here is a document explaining the Documentation and Search features:

With the girls and gays catching onto "Call Me Maybe" right away coupled with the gay twist at the end of the music video, who knew that the video would also become so popular among straight men as well! EVERYONE is calling Carly Rae Jepsen! Not too long ago, I wrote about a hilarious video where these two guys become "Call Me Maybe Obsessed" – it's definitely worth watching.
Now, in this new video that is about to go viral, some of the Harvard Baseball Team players are travelling by van and apparently decide to pass the time with a little lip synching & choreography to what is likely the most popular song of the year. The HOT guys sing to the player that has fallen asleep (Jack Colton) and when the song is over, continue on as if nothing has happened.
Aside from the snoozer, the players in the video are: Jeff Reynolds, Steven Dill, Andrew Ferreira, Marcus Way, Kyle Larrow, Jon Smart, and Joey Novak. Check out the video below.
I just finished watching the video below and am still wiping away the tears from my face. Shane Bitney Crone (the creator of the video) says: "It has been said that sharing personal stories is one of the most effective ways to change people's hearts and minds. This is my story and I hope you are inspired to share it with others."
Crone tells the story of he and his other half, Tom Bridegroom. They were together for 6 years and while together, they had both come out to their families, they started a business together, adopted a dog, and traveled the world. Then, in 2011 something devastating happened that would change everything.
The NOH8 Campaign is officially here in Vancouver for the first time today and it's stories like these that remind me of what we're all fighting for. If you need a reminder, watch this video and share it with others.
I came across this video today that was done by the Alliance Youth Committee of Illinois Safe Schools called "Dear 40-Year Old Me". In the video, the students speak as if they are talking to their 40-year-old self and it's so touching and heart-breaking at the same time. The video's objective is to inspire you to help schools become a better places for ALL youth, especially those that are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.
As the students share their personal stories from each of their own lives, we see that change is possible and empowering and how their involvement with the Alliance helped them from feeling marginalized to being an integral part of policy changes at both a district and statewide level.
Imagine being a student and talking to your 40-year-old self… What would you say? "I'm proud of you"? What would you want to be doing or have accomplished? Watch the video below to hear what the students said.
I love a good prank. It usually follows a great belly laugh which I thoroughly enjoy, even if it gives me the hiccups afterwards. Tonight, I came across this hilarious flash mob courtesy of Tic Tac France. Picture this. A stranger comes up to you and asks you for directions. Suddenly, their eyes roll into the back of their head and they hit the deck. All of a sudden, everyone in the area you are in also hits the deck in a domino-like fashion. You can imagine you'd probably fall into a state of panic.
Then, a big screen turns on and starts playing footage of other people in your city falling and passing out suddenly wherever they are. What do you do? Thankfully, someone on the ground awakes and hands you a bottle of Tic Tac's. You pop one in your mouth and the fallen begin to awake in applause. Then you realize, everyone passed out because you had the worst breath in the world. How embarrassing! That's exactly what this flash mob did to a few, unsuspecting passers by in France. Watch the video and you will LOL for sure.
Check out Tic Tac France's hilarious flash mob prank after the jump.
I'm not going to lie, the thought of doing this has crossed my mind. Throw on some sunglasses (while indoors) and have a few people pretend to "recognize" you as a celebrity and see what happens. It's just way to easy to pull something like this off – heck, I'd fall for it!
A guy (using his middle & last name – Thomas Elliot) went to MacArthur Center mall in Norfolk, Virginia to conduct said social experiment with Chill Hill Media. With the help of just a few staged people, tons of people believed Thomas was a famous actor, including mall security. It's hilarious and I can totally see this happening.
People were getting their photos taken with him, getting autographs, and girls were even giving them their number. Twitter updates about the "Thomas Elliot" siting were starting to appear online as people believed him to be an actor from Spiderman or The Hunger Games. Check out the fake celebrity prank experiment below.
You know when you just love a new song so much that you just keep listening to it over and over and it just acts as fuel for your day…and you SO want to just dance around singing it at the top of your lungs? Maybe? Maybe not?
In the following hilarious video by Vancouver's Hoodwinked Films, two guys develop an unhealthy obsession with Carly Rae Jepsen's smash hit "Call Me Maybe". You know, I don't blame them. This song is amazingly catchy and you get such a "feel good" vibe from it. Not to mention, I love Carly Rae's voice and she's just so lovable. Love seeing Canadian artists take off!
Enjoy the video below and share what songs YOU are currently obsessed with!
This past weekend, Alicia and her girlfriend Christina were watching the Ottawa Senators play against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Place stadium. Aside from watching the game, Christina also had something extra special planned.
In the video below, you see Alicia being led into the rink blindfolded during a break in the game. When the blindfold is removed, she is told to look up at the screen for a message that reads: "My love for you is a journey, starting at forever and ending at never. You're my world. Zing xox." Christina then walks in and the two hold each other in their arms, while Christina is whispering in her ear. She then gets down on one knee.
This video seriously made my eyes water. Such a touching moment and listening to the crowd cheering their support – amazing. This video will bring the Spring sunshine into your day. Enjoy!
Today, February 29, 2012, is Pink Shirt Today. People everywhere (young and old) are wearing something pink to symbolize that we as a society will not tolerate bullying anywhere. It makes me so happy to see kids being ta
The caption to the video reads, "After the success of the Anti-bullying Flashmob at Oakridge Mall, David Lloyd George Elementary and Churchill Secondary got together with eight other schools across Metro Vancouver and one in New York to continue spreading the word of Acceptance through social media."
The dance was choreographed by Pauline Ramos, and features hundreds of kids from various schools wearing pink, celebrating acceptance while dancing to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way". Check it out!

Establishing a plan of care to treat her son Alistair's heart defect at birth helped ease Kelly Hennessey's anxiety.
By identifying a serious defect before a child is born, the experts in Seattle Children's Prenatal Diagnosis program enable families and their healthcare providers to establish a plan of care for before, during and after birth.
Alistair Hennessey has yet to utter his first intelligible word, but one day his parents will likely teach him the tongue-twisting term "Ebstein's anomaly." It's the name of a rare and potentially serious heart defect with which Alistair was born in May 2006. One flap of the valve between his right atrium and ventricle fails to close properly, allowing blood to backflow through his heart.
Using fetal echocardiography, doctors at Children's diagnosed Alistair's condition before he was born, enabling his healthcare team to plan the treatment he would need, and giving his parents, Kelly and Seth, time to come to terms with this unexpected twist.
"When infants are separated from the umbilical cord, their circulation changes," explains Dr. Mark Lewin, co-director of Children's Heart Center, which performs about 300 prenatal screenings each year in its Echocardiography Laboratory. "If they have a cardiac defect, they can become critically ill over a period of hours or days after birth."
Because the initial shifts can be subtle, an infant with an undiagnosed heart defect may go home 24 hours after birth with no sign of danger. Soon after, however, Children's may get a call that the same infant, now critically ill, needs evaluation and treatment. Prenatal diagnosis prevents such a crisis. Instead, the obstetrician, pediatric cardiologist and others can plan the delivery and necessary early-life care.
Dr. Mark Lewin performs a fetal echocardiogram.
A fetal echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the fetus's heart – a moving, two-dimensional image of the heart's structures that displays on a television screen, showing doctors the size, shape and function of the chambers and valves.
"Dr. Lewin did a very thorough echocardiogram, and then he sat down with us and drew out what Alistair's malformation looks like," says Kelly Hennessey.
Lewin then explained that Alistair's defect was moderate and he might never need valve-replacement surgery, or at least not until adolescence. But immediately after birth, he would need close monitoring and medication. The explanation and subsequent prenatal visits helped ease the Hennesseys' anxiety and uncertainty.
"We were able to feel that this was something we could handle. Going into the third appointment, we knew what the game plan was going to be the day he was born," recalls his mother. "We were going to have the delivery at Evergreen and transfer Alistair to Children's later that day."

Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 162 reviews
The hotel staff was excellent! They went above and beyond. We ended up having a very late flight and had to check in LONG after the check in hours. The staff was very kind and made sure they were there to check us in. Even though, I suspect, they had to make a special trip to back to the hotel to do so. As if that wasn't enough, the airline lost our luggage. NEVER fly Vueling! The staff made an extra special effort to help us get our bag back and made several calls to the airline, airport, etc. Their efforts helped us get our bag back before we left! All in all, it was the staff that made what could have been a very stressful trip a great experience!
We had a wonderful time and the staff were 5*!!!! Marta? at reception was fantastic offering any help and information we needed.
Great location, comfortable room, and super friendly staff!
It is a small hotel, but is the sweetest one that I have stayed. Both facilities and service are great, and the the delicious breakfast makes my day! The location is very close to many tourist places on Passeig de Gracia and the metro station. The Casa Batllo is just your neighbor! We had an early fight on the check-out date, and the hotel is very kind to pack a take-away breakfast for us.
On my trip to Spain, I stayed in 3 different hotels in a similar price range, and this one was by far my favorite. My room was very compact, and there was no view from the window, but it was very clean and quite comfortable. The wifi worked great, and I enjoyed the great selection of international TV stations, as I am only fluent in English and French. The shower was likewise compact, but worked well, and the bathroom was stocked with comfortable towels and high quality complimentary toiletries. Continental breakfast was great as well. The front desk staff were comfortable conversing in English and extremely helpful. They not only helped me to plan my stay and buy tickets for the attractions I wanted to visit, but even printed Google maps to help me navigate from one destination to another. The location is pretty much unbeatable--just off the Passeig de Gracia, practically steps from the Casa Batllo, and within an easy walk of the Gothic Quarter. Lots of shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. There's a metro stop around the corner, and one can easily get to/from the Barcelona Sants train station via public transport in less than 15 minutes. All in all, I had a great stay and was very pleased with the price/quality relationship that The8 offered. I would gladly return to this B&B the next time I'm in Barcelona. Highly recommended.

Open Source and social capital
The notion that people contributing to Open Source don't get paid is false. Contributors to Open Source are compensated for their labor; not always with financial capital (i.e. a paycheck) but certainly with social capital. Social capital is a rather vague and intangible concept so let me give some examples. If you know someone at a company where you are applying for a job and this connection helps you get that job, you have used social capital. Or if you got a lead or a business opportunity through your network, you have used social capital. Or when you fall on hard times and you rely on friends for emotional support, you're also using social capital.
The term "social" refers to the fact that the value is in the network of relationships; they can't be owned like personal assets. Too many people believe that success in life is based on the individual, and that if you do not have success in life, there is no one to blame but yourself. The truth is that individuals who build and use social capital get better jobs, better pay, faster promotions and are more effective compared to peers who are not tapping the power of social capital. As shown in the examples, social capital also translates into happiness and well-being.
Most Open Source contributors benefit from social capital but may not have stopped to think about it, or may not value it appropriately. Most of us in the Open Source world have made friendships for life, have landed jobs because of our contributions, others have started businesses together, and for others it has provided an important sense of purpose. Once you become attuned to spotting social capital being leveraged, you see it everywhere, every day. I could literally write a book filled with hundreds of stories about how contributing to Open Source changed people's lives -- I love hearing these stories.
Social capital is a big deal; it is worth understanding, worth talking about, and worth investing in. It is key to achieving personal success, business success and even happiness.
Drupal.com refresh launched
Back in the early days of Drupal, Drupal.com looked like this:
On August 14 2009, I relaunched Drupal.com to replace the oh-so-embarrassing placeholder page. The 2009 re-launch turned Drupal.com into a better spotlight for Drupal. It wasn't hard to beat the white page with a Druplicon logo.
What was a good spotlight five years ago though is no longer a good spotlight today. Five years later, Drupal.com didn't do Drupal justice. It didn't really explain what Drupal is, what you can use Drupal for, and more. Along with sub-optimal content, the site wasn't optimized for mobile use either.
Today, exactly five years later to the day, I'm excited to announce that I relaunched Drupal.com again:
Redesigning Drupal.com to make it more useful and current has been one of my New Year's resolutions for a number of years now. And as of today, I can finally strike that off my list.
The new Drupal.com has become richer in its content; you'll find a bit more information about Drupal to help people understand what Drupal is all about and how to get started with Drupal. On a desktop, on a tablet, on a phone, the site has become much easier to navigate and read.
I believe the new Drupal.com is a much better, more relevant showcase for Drupal. The goal is to update the site more regularly and to keep adding to it. My next step is to add more use cases and to include short demo videos of both the Drupal backend as well as the showcases. Drupal.com will become an increasingly helpful resource and starting point for people who are evaluating Drupal.
The changes are not limited to content and look; Drupal.com also has a new engine as the site was upgraded from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 alpha (don't try this at home). We're using Drupal 8 to push the boundaries of site building and responsive design and to uncover bugs and usability issues with Drupal 8. Because we're using an alpha version of Drupal 8, things might not function perfectly yet. We'd still love to hear feedback from designers and front end developers on how it's working.
Amazon invests in Acquia
I'm happy to share news that Amazon has joined the Acquia family as our newest investor. This investment builds on the recent $50 million financing round that Acquia completed in May, which was led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA).
Acquia is the largest provider of Drupal infrastructure in the world. We run on more than 8,000 AWS instances and serve more than 27 billion hits a month or 333 TB of bandwidth a month. Working with AWS has been an invaluable part of our success story, and today's investment will further solidify our collaboration.
We did not disclose the amount of the investment in today's news announcement.
Help me write my DrupalCon Amsterdam keynote
For my DrupalCon Amsterdam keynote, I want to try something slightly different. Instead of coming up with the talk track myself, I want to "crowdsource" it. In other words, I want the wider Drupal community to have direct input on the content of the keynote. I feel this will provide a great opportunity to surface questions and ideas from the people who make Drupal what it is.
In the past, I've done traditional surveys to get input for my keynote and I've also done keynotes that were Q&A from beginning to end. This time, I'd like to try something in between.
I'd love your help to identify the topics of interests (e.g. scaling our community, future of the web, information about Drupal's competitors, "headless" Drupal, the Drupal Association, the business of Open Source, sustaining core development, etc). You can make your suggestions in the comments of this blog post or on Twitter (tag them with @Dries and #driesnote). I'll handpick some topics from all the suggestions, largely based on popularity but also based on how important and meaty I think the topic is.
Then, in the lead-up to the event, I'll create discussion opportunities on some or all of the topics so we can dive deeper on them together, and surface various opinions and ideas. The result of those deeper conversations will form the basis of my DrupalCon Amsterdam keynote.
So what would you like me to talk about? Suggest your topics in the comments of this blog post or on Twitter by tagging your suggestions with #driesnote and/or @Dries. Thank you!
The business behind Open Source
A few days ago, I sat down with Quentin Hardy of The New York Times to talk Open Source. We spoke mostly about the Drupal ecosystem and how Acquia makes money. As someone who spent almost his entire career in Open Source, I'm a firm believer in the fact that you can build a high-growth, high-margin business and help the community flourish. It's not an either-or proposition, and Acquia and Drupal are proof of that.
Rather than an utopian alternate reality as Quentin outlines, I believe Open Source is both a better way to build software, and a good foundation for an ecosystem of for-profit companies. Open Source software itself is very successful, and is capable of running some of the most complex enterprise systems. But failure to commercialize Open Source doesn't necessarily make it bad.
I mentioned to Quentin that I thought Open Source was Darwinian; a proprietary software company can't afford to experiment with creating 10 different implementations of an online photo album, only to pick the best one. In Open Source we can, and do. We often have competing implementations and eventually the best implementation(s) will win. One could say that Open Source is a more "wasteful" way of software development. In a pure capitalist read of On the Origin of Species, there is only one winner, but business and Darwin's theory itself is far more complex. Beyond "only the strongest survive", Darwin tells a story of interconnectedness, or the way an ecosystem can dictate how an entire species chooses to adapt.
While it's true that the Open Source "business model" has produced few large businesses (Red Hat being one notable example), we're also evolving the different Open Source business models. In the case of Acquia, we're selling a number of "as-a-service" products for Drupal, which is vastly different than just selling support like the first generation of Open Source companies did.
As a private company, Acquia doesn't disclose financial information, but I can say that we've been very busy operating a high-growth business. Acquia is North America's fastest growing private company on the Deloitte Fast 500 list. Our Q1 2014 bookings increased 55 percent year-over-year, and the majority of that is recurring subscription revenue. We've experienced 21 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, with no signs of slowing down. Acquia's business model has been both disruptive and transformative in our industry. Other Open Source companies like Hortonworks, Cloudera and MongoDB seem to be building thriving businesses too.
Society is undergoing tremendous change right now -- the sharing and collaboration practices of the internet are extending to transportation (Uber), hotels (Airbnb), financing (Kickstarter, LendingClub) and music services (Spotify). The rise of the collaborative economy, of which the Open Source community is a part of, should be a powerful message for the business community. It is the established, proprietary vendors whose business models are at risk, and not the other way around.
Hundreds of other companies, including several venture backed startups, have been born out of the Drupal community. Like Acquia, they have grown their businesses while supporting the ecosystem from which they came. That is more than a feel-good story, it's just good business.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to a fitment assembly for a liquid peristaltic pump dispenser which will be capable of delivering a measured dosage of fluid contained in a refillable liquid container.
2. Prior Art
Various types of fluid dispensers which deliver a selected close or dosage of a liquid product are known. For example, various types of soap or alcohol based surfactants may be dispensed from dispensers which retain a refillable liquid container. The liquid container is held in a housing which includes a pivoting arm which applies pressure to a chamber or bladder in order to force the stored fluid out of the chamber or bladder, dispensing a selected or metered amount.
Various other types of dispensers and dispensing valves have been proposed in the past. U.S. Pat. No. 3,193,154(Bross) discloses a diaphragm configuration including a bellows-portion 5a and a stem 9a (See, e.g., FIG. 7). In use, the bellows-portion is extended (as shown in FIG. 6), allowing fluid to flow through the opening 15a by withdrawing tip 20 of stem 9a from the opening 15a. In the most relevant embodiment (FIG. 7), the bellows-portion extends due to fluid pressure applied to inner wall 22.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,776,495 (Vignot) discloses a dispenser including tubular body 6 and an interior skirt 17 (See, e.g., FIG. 1). In use, force 16 applied to the body increases the pressure of fluid within the device. The increased pressure inwardly displaces a side of interior skirt 17, allowing fluid to pass.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,635,826 (Hatckeyama) discloses a valve assembly including a valve member 22 and valve sheet 30 (See, FIG. 2). In use, pressure applied to the tube body 12 increase fluid pressure in the passage 28, which forces the valve sheet 30 upward. When the sheet 30 is displaced upward, fluid is allowed to pass through passage 28, around sheet 30 and past hook portions 34, and beyond outlet 20.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,244,332 (Rogers '332); U.S. Pat. No. 3,141,580 (Rogers '580); U.S. Pat. No. 3,087,656 (Dougherty); and U.S. Pat. No. 3,107,035 (Chalet) each disclose various dispensing systems having a blocking element disposed in a dispensing tip. In use, each of these inventions involves longitudinally displacing the blocking element with respect to the dispensing tip via the lateral application of pressure to the exterior of the tip, thereby allowing fluid to pass out of the device.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,772,817 (Jauch) discloses a dispensing pump including a barrel 26 and a tip 32 having a vent 33 (See, e.g., FIGS. 1 and 2). In use, pressure applied to the sides of the barrel 26 increases fluid pressure therein. The pressure increase forces slit 33 open, thus allowing fluid to pass.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,439,143 (Brown) discloses a dispensing valve involving a container 2 and a valve 3 having a valve head 5 and a discharge orifice 6. In use, pressure within the container 2 is increased via application of force to exterior side walls 14, 15 of the container. The pressure increase causes the valve head 5 to move from a fully retracted position to an extended position (See FIGS. 10 and 11). Additional pressure to the container causes slit 6 of head 5 to open, thereby allowing fluid to pass there-through (See FIGS. 12 and 13).
While silicone has been utilized as a desirable, flexible material in fluid dispenser, it is known that it will react negatively with certain types of surfactants. Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a dispensing system that did not include silicone components.
It would also be desirable to provide a fitment assembly for a dispenser which would deliver an accurately metered dosage of liquid and thereafter seal to prevent dripping or leaking of the fluid media.
It would be further desirable to provide a two-piece fitment assembly for a liquid dispenser that may be simply manufactured and installed.
The present invention is directed to a fitment assembly for a peristaltic pump dispenser wherein the pump dispenser includes an outer housing holding a refillable liquid container and a pivoting rocker face or plate to force a measured dosage of liquid out from the fitment assembly.
The lower end of the container terminates in an open threaded end which is connected to the fitment assembly of the present invention by an internally threaded cap.
The fitment assembly includes a flexible fitment having an upper end with a radially extending lip which assists in forming a seal with the container. The fitment also includes a lower end terminating in a tip. Between the upper end and a lower end is a conical, flexible portion which forms a hollow chamber.
A substantially, non-deformable check valve resides in a conical portion of a lower end of the flexible fitment. The check valve includes a lower base which is generally flat and solid and has a circumferential edge which mates with the lower end of the fitment. The check valve also includes an upper cylindrical wall which is spaced from the lower base. Between the lower base and the cylindrical wall are a plurality of extending legs which are arranged to form a conical surface with spaces therebetween. The exterior of the conical surfaces mates with the conical portion of the lower end of the flexible fitment.
Fluid from the container will be permitted to fill the fitment assembly by passing into the upper end of the fitment through the threaded cap. The check valve will permit fluid from passing beyond it. Accordingly, the hollow chamber will fill with fluid by gravity. Thereafter, the rocker face or plate 16 will be pushed or depressed by a user which will cause the flexible portion of the fitment to move and decrease in volume. The pressure applied with displace the flexible conical portion so that fluid will pass through the openings in the extending legs and the fluid will displaced the conical portion so that fluid passes around the exterior circumference or edge of the lower base. Thereafter, the fluid will exit out of the tip of the fitment assembly.
The embodiments discussed herein are merely illustrative of specific manners in which to make and use the invention and are not to be interpreted as limiting the scope of the instant invention.
While the invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be noted that many modifications may be made in the details of the invention's construction and the arrangement of its components without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments set forth herein for purposes of exemplification.
The dispenser 10 includes a pivoting rocker face or plate 16 which will be depressed by a user in order to deliver a desired dosage.
The threaded open end 22 is connected to a fitment assembly 30 by an internally threaded cap 32 shown apart from the dispenser 10 in the exploded view shown in
A substantially non-deformable check valve 50 resides in the conical portion of the lower end 38 of the flexible fitment 28.
The check valve 50 is shown apart from the device in
In operation, a desired, measured dosage of fluid from the refillable container 20 may be delivered. Fluid, such as soap, will be permitted to fill from the container 20 by passing into and through the upper end 36 of the fitment 28 through the threaded cap 32. The hollow chamber 40 will fill by gravity. Initially, the check valve 50 will stop fluid from passing beyond it. In particular, the lower base 52 forms a floor beyond which the fluid will not pass. Accordingly, the hollow chamber 40 will fill with fluid by gravity. Thereafter, the pump arm 60 will be pushed or depressed by a user which will course the flexible portion of the fitment 28 to decrease in volume. The fluid will pass through the upper cylindrical wall of the check valve. As pressure increases, the lower portion of the fitment 28 will expand allowing fluid to pass through the spaces between the plurality of extending legs 56 and around the exterior edge of the lower base 52. Thereafter, the fluid will exit out of the tip of the fitment.
Whereas, the present invention has been described in relation to the drawings attached hereto, it should be understood that other and further modifications, apart from those shown or suggested herein, may be made within the spirit and scope of this invention.

Yesterday, British Columbia's finance minister Mike De Jong announced new fiscal calming measures aimed at reducing the rate at which real property is appreciating throughout the province, and in particular in the metro Vancouver area. These measures included a 15% foreign ownership tax which is to be assessed on any person who lives outside of Canada and holds foreign citizenship, and a provision for the Vancouver city council to allow for special 'vacancy' taxes on any property that remains vacant for an extended period of time. The foreign tax is to take place on August 2 2016, and applies to properties that were pre-sold prior to this date and the vacancy tax has yet to be rolled out with no specific details released at this time.
Since then, our office has been flooded with calls from prospective and current clients who are curious about the implication on Alberta or more common; the implication for Alberta based investors who own property in BC. Will these easing measures have an effect on Albertan prices? Are the rules nation wide? Will Alberta follow suit? These are reasonable questions and if you are an Alberta real estate investor, then these issues may have a significant financial burden. We understand that there is much confusion in the market right now.
While the BC government's plan to tax foreign investors has a bearing on rental rates, we believe the impact will be minimal because relatively few of these properties are put into the rental pool in the first place. We believe that the reduced momentum may succeed in driving prices down, especially in the high end markets which could, in a drawn out and somewhat convoluted way translate to the rental market. Ultimately, we believe that rental homes in the affected price point are somewhat sparse to begin with.
The vacant property holding tax is more likely to have a bearing on investors, however the particulars are entirely ambitious at this time because you draft legislation or bylaw has been drafted, for this reason we are unable to comment on the matter.
Hope Street is a premium provider of professional property management services whose goal is to provide the best property management Edmonton and Calgary have to offer.
Edmonton, AB Hope Street Real Estate Corp, - an innovative property management firm specializing in residential family and executive level rental housing, was awarded "Property Management Service Provider of the Year" at Canadian Real Estate Magazine's Top Investor Awards Gala on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at The Toronto International Center.
"This award is a huge win for us", said Shamon Kureshi, President & Managing Broker of Hope Street. "I feel it recognizes our team's success over the years, and celebrates how we've improved the residential tenancy management model through our innovation and through new methods of high tech production and automation." Hope Street edged out numerous other finalists including property managers, strata managers, investment dealers, and financial service provides, for the highly contested award.
"The awards committee had a tough time this year due to the volume and quality of the nominations." said Claudine Ting, Marketing Manager for KMI Media, the magazine's parent company. The Top Investor Awards are an event designed to cite Canada's thriving investment real estate community in education, ethics, advocacy, and economics. The Top Investor Awards honour the year's best in property management, community involvement, and social impact at their annual awards gala.
"Hope Street has worked very hard to establish themselves one of the Canada's leading high-tech rental agencies," remarked commercial lawyer and gala attendee and Toronto area broker Melissa Marshall. "They've really been instrumental in rethinking and reshaping the old property management model, known for adversarial 'push' style management and they have created a modern process based model full of innovation and automation. They are really on the leading edge of property managers anywhere - not just in Edmonton and Calgary."
With offices in Calgary and Edmonton Alberta, Hope Street is a tight knit team of handpicked and hand trained rental real estate insiders who provide solid results for private investors since 2005. The firm maintains a modest staff of about 50, and through an efficient business model successfully manages a portfolio of nearly 1500 high quality detached, executive, and condominium rental properties.

Sellers of businesses in New York are asking slightly less than they did a year ago with revenue also slipping slightly, according to an industry study.
The median asking price for a business in New York at the end of 2011 was $250,000 down from $259,000 a year ago, according to BizBuySell.com. Median revenue slipped to $450,000 from $451,200 a year ago.
Business owners in the region typically ask for a revenue multiple of 0.81, down from 0.82 a year ago, based on 4,379 New York-area businesses listed at BizBuySell.com.
"While 2011 continued to be a tough year for the nation's small business owners, we were pleased to see that business performance is improving and more people are buying small businesses," Mike Handelsman, group general manager of BizBuySell.com and BizQuest.com, said in a written statement. "Helping this is the fact that business sellers are adjusting their value expectations, something that should continue to spur deals in 2012."
The number of small businesses reported as sold to BizBuySell.com nationwide rose 3.3 percent to 6,703 from 6,486 a year ago, following a 3 percent jump from 2009 to 2010 in closed transactions.
Median selling prices nationwide also rose 3.3 percent from $150,000 in 2010 to $155,000 in 2011, while median revenue rose about 6.7 percent as the economy improved.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Clayton: Firing Whisenhunt would be a mistake
Ken Whisenhunt is the most successful coach in Arizona Cardinals history, having led the team to Super Bowl XLIII as well as two NFC West championships.
However, with his team mired in an eight-game losing streak, many think it's time for the Cardinals to part with their head coach.
ESPN NFL insider John Clayton is not of that school of thought.
"The mistake would be to let him go," Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday.
Clayton said Whisenhunt has proven to be a successful coach when given a quality quarterback, which he has not had since Kurt Warner retired following the 2009 season.
Arizona's post-Warner struggles have led Whisenhunt's record as head coach to dip to 44-48, and after three straight years of missing the playoffs, it's possible the coach's best times in the desert are behind him.
And while Clayton admitted he does not understand why Whisenhunt replaced John Skelton with Ryan Lindley a few weeks ago in Atlanta, he remains steadfast with his belief a coaching change would be one of the worst things the Cardinals could do.
"The mistake would be letting this coach go," he said. "He's too good of a coach, he knows offense, players play for him."

Jahia 6: Content Management with Versatility
With version 6 of the web content and document managment suite Jahia has set the Swiss enterprise bearing the same name onto a higher level in terms of standard and reputability.
With Jahia, users can combine Web CMS, document management and web portal services into the same package. The new version 6 supports the Java standard for portlets 2.0 (JSR 286) and single-sign-on (SSO). The software works in conjunction with WebDAV and the content repositoryApache Jackrabbitfor document management. For web content administration an Ajax user interface has been made available by the manufacturer.
The Web CMS suite functions with IT environments such as Jboss, Websphere and Bea. The supported system environments, however, are collecting a bit of dust in the process. In addition to RHEL 5.0, Debian 4.0 Etch, and Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon are mentioned.
Jahia is available in a Community edition in addition to a business version which can be obtained with a yearly subscription. The price of the business version varies according to software level (standard, advanced, professional, premium) which cost between 2,000 and 20,000 dollars. A 20% discount is also offered to public and non-profit organizations. The license is GPL and an online demo can be viewed here.

The user mobility pattern (UMP) scheme is introduced for location update and paging in wireless systems where mobile terminals (MTs) maintain their history data in a database called user mobility history (UMH). During a location update, a UMP is derived from UMH and registered to the network. Unless the MT detects that it has moved out of the registered UMP, it does not perform any other location update. On the other hand, cells are paged selectively according to the cell entry times in the registered UMP upon a call arrival for the MT. The related data structures and the protocols for the UMP scheme are presented in the paper. The experimental results show that the UMP scheme outperforms the time-based and movement-based location update schemes as well as the blanket, selective, and velocity paging schemes.
